Reviews
Our 11 day safari covered Kruger NP, Chobe NP, Victoria Falls... it was awesome in every aspect.
Andre at safariwithus made sure every aspect of our safari exceeded our expections... the drivers, guides, accommodations, meals, entertainment and locations visited could not have been better. I highly recommend the 11 day safari in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.... it gives you a good snapshot of africa and the game in the countries. Very exciting and the drivers and guides were very informative.
Excellent trip

SWU were the agents who arranged a four day visit to the southern end of Kruger with Nhongo tours
Our tour was located and booked while i was travelling elsewhere. At the last minute i had to cancel to head home for a funeral. They generously held the booking so we could go the next year, as well as helped with a rapid change of arrangements i required at the time. Great service much appreciated! With them I've arranged a pick ups from Jberg airport and enjoyed their comfortable accommodation in the north of the city. From the Manor it is easy continue north to Kruger without having to negotiate the inner city. The tour company picked us up from there. The transport to Kruger overland was comfortable, informative and safe. The tour was excellent and good value for money given the attention to getting the most for everyone out of the visit. I used Safari with Us for a tour near Johannesburg which was also convenient and good.
I have used the "Manor" in Johannesburg six times now as pass through and will again. Their friendly reliable services have negated any consternation i had about passing through Johannesburg with jet lag.

In one word GREAT!!, Flexible, knowledge of the places, countrys and animals we saw
This was our third time in South Afrika, first time in the winter, but this time we would make more of it then just visiting family.
So, we decided to do a safari trip. We’ve got the address of Safari with us, visiting the website got some information and chose for a trip through Botswana and Zimbabwe.
In the communications with Safari With Us they gave us advise, because we’ve had some trip’s before, so they gave us a safari specially made for us.
The lodges, breakfasts, lunches, by Nata pans, another near the river, the dinners, near a campfire, and specially the one on Chobe River were fabulous!
We saw more in this safari then we expected, cause the guide knew the surrounding area, were we driving, so for an example when the elephants crossed the road, the guide knew there was a pool in that area were the elephants heading to, so we went to that pool and saw elephants, giraffes and all other animals.

Great tour company
We did this tour late July and the tour company was very good. They picked us up at our accommodation and dropped us back. Thabo was a great guide who was with us the whole time. He cooked lovely warm meals for us to eat. Would definitely recommend this 3day camping tour to Pilanesberg National Park.

Amazing, stress-free and well-coordinated trip!
I can't praise this company enough - I would highly recommend Safari With Us to everyone!! My 4 friends and I had an incredible experience in Botswana and Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls). Andre was communicative and responsive via email and the entire trip was well-coordinated. You can leave it to them and they will take care of you. We loved Tanya, our driver/guide in Botswana - he made our trip so memorable and personal. Our 7-day trip was, in my opinion, about middle-tier prices. We stayed at a wide range (outdoor non-AC tents to hotels to nice lodges) and I thought the quality of our hotels/meals/safaris were solid and went beyond my expectations. A typical day would consist of driving for several hours (we had to cover a lot of ground) and 1 activity (e.g. safari, river boat cruise, interactive dinner). We felt the activities and accommodations were well-varied and balanced. Overall, it was such a stress-free and fun trip! In addition, I left some clothes in Zimbabwe and Tabo/Tanya/Andre coordinated over the course of several months to send them back to me in the United States!
If you are thinking about taking a safari trip, I would highly recommend taking it with them!

Pilanesberg Private Safari!!!
Andre did a phenomenal job planning a three day two night luxury safari for us!!! We had two major obstacles - my wife was pregnant (we could not take anti-malaria medication) and we have a two and half year old daughter. Andre found a four star lodge in a malaria free zone and arranged private safaris for us. Once in Africa, every step of the way, the process was flawless. He is great with communication and e-mail.

Right from our first contract over e mail Andre was helpful and very professional. Always on call
This was my first experience with a tour operator. Glad we chose this company. The 9-day tour was designed to my requirements with a budget I could afford.
All transportation was above expectations with helpful, friendly drivers, who even filled hotel forms at times. They remained cheerful throughout. Packed lunches were generous, hotels were 3-star and very good. The safaris were extraordinary with knowledgeable guides. No complaints despite the tour being handled by three partnering companies across three countries. Andre has chosen his partners well. Highly recommended. Already referred a friend.

Safari With Us was very responsive and helpful.
We dealt with Andre and found him to be very responsive and helpful. He booked our accomodation, airport pickups , morning trip to Soweto and our 4 day trip to the Kruger area. Andre always responded punctually and patiently to our emails and endless questions which helped us choose our trips which were exactly what we were looking for.
The 6 hour transfers to and from Kruger were efficiently managed in mini vans with a lunch stop at a delightful restaurant.
We strongly recommend Safari With Us .

Nice experience in Kruger NP
Andre Retif and Kavi (from Kruger Adventures Lodge) are just fantastic. Andre was always available to assist us. The service provided in the lodge was remarkable. The staff was absolutely nice and happy to receive us. The meals also, just well served and delicious. We really felt better than home and that is something to highlight, definitely.
About Kruger Park, it is a nice place. It is really quite different from other places like Okavango, Serengeti or Ngorongoro as it is not that wild and is also very crowded. There is a Golf Course (Skukuza) in the middle of the park, which I found very disturbing and non-sense.
Super smooth and easy - 7 days - Chobe and Victoria falls
Super smooth trip! Almost everything was planned for us. The guides were helpful and accommodating!
